$100 a Barrel of Oil

[KeithD]

Just because a rogue trader wanted to be clever and get it in print, it hit a new record.....and we all pay more for our heating & driving bills

Isn't it nice that these Clever City people control the price of the worlds oil, instead of like a 'normal' company where the producer decides the price.

The US are the first to complain about terrorists in Iran, and yet they buy Iranian oil at massively inflated prices due to there own City Boyz, and therefore fund terrorism against themselves

I agree, wouldn't it be simpler if America simply blew itself up? I mean why go the long way round?

As long as it happens AFTER I return home, I couldn't care less

I thought oil had gone up due to higher demand for fuel from in particular China and India?

If it costs too much don't buy oil or oil based products, surely you got enough hot air flowing towards wales from down sarf and manchester to power the heaters in your house

Mr Admin sir instead of a car you could train some sheep as huskies, just make sure you fit a filter on their to make sure they dont give off to many green house gases.

That's true for a part but you have also a lot of traders speculating...
And it would be nice also that Americans finally repair correctly their oil refineries. There is enough crude oil but not enough fuel because of lack of refinery capacity.
